<2. 歌词>
I don't need a lot of things
I can get by (1) with nothing
Of all the blessings (2) life can bring
I've always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath (3), like rain
I need you like mercy (4)
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom (5) in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues (6) me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you like water
Like breath like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you …
